Urination by Muslim boys on the walls of the Shiva temple

Sonbhadra (Uttar Pradesh) — Tension prevailed in Bahera village of Sonbhadra district after five minor boys allegedly urinated on the walls of a Lord Shiva temple and engaged in objectionable acts near the idol, police said.

According to locals, when the priest’s son attempted to stop them, the boys fled and allegedly issued threats to kill and make bodies “disappear.” News of the incident quickly spread, leading to heightened tension in the area.

Activists from Hindu organisations, including Bajrang Dal, staged a protest outside the Karma police station, demanding strict action. Taking note of the seriousness of the allegations, police registered a case against all five minors and took three of them into custody. Additional police forces have been deployed in the village to maintain law and order.
